I need love, love oh, easy my mind And I need to find time, someone to call mine My mama said You can't hurry love No you'll just have to wait She said love don't come easy But it's a game of give and take You can't hurry love No you'll just have to wait Just trust in a good time No matter how long it takes How many heartaches must I stand Before I find the love to let me live again Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on When I feel my strength Oh, it's almost gone I remember mama said You can't hurry love No you'll just have to wait She said love don't come easy But it's a game of give and take How long must I wait? How much more must I take Before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart break No, I can't bear to live my life alone I grow impatient for a love to call my own But when I feel that I, I can't go on Well these precious words Keep me hanging on, I remember mama said You can't hurry love No you'll just have to wait She said love don't come easy But it's a game of give and take You can't hurry love No you'll just have to wait Just trust in a good time No matter how long it takes, now wait! Now love, love don't come easy But I keep waiting anticipating for that Soft voice to talk to me at night For some tender arms hold me tight I keep waiting ooh, till that day But it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy oh my mama said You can't hurry love No you'll just have to wait She said love don't come easy But it's a game of give and take You can't hurry love No you'll just have to wait Just trust in a good time No matter how long it takes, now wait!
